A rough, hand-drawn print face with thick, brush-like strokes and visibly irregular edges. Letterforms are simplified and slightly blobby, with uneven stroke terminals and occasional pinched joins that mimic quick marker or dry-brush pressure changes. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, creating an organic rhythm; counters are often small and asymmetric, and round forms feel slightly squashed or lopsided. Overall spacing and widths are inconsistent in a deliberate, handmade way, giving text a lively, imperfect texture.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are desired—posters, splashy headlines, packaging accents, stickers, and album or event graphics. It can work for short blurbs or pull quotes at larger sizes, but the rough stroke edges and irregular rhythm are most effective when readability is supported by generous size and spacing.
The font communicates an informal, lo-fi attitude—earthy, spontaneous, and a bit mischievous. Its rough contours and heavy ink presence suggest DIY craft, zine culture, or expressive signage rather than polished typography, adding energy and personality to short phrases.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-painted or marker-written lettering while maintaining clear, printable forms. The goal appears to be expressive impact over uniformity, providing a bold, tactile texture that feels personal and intentionally imperfect.
Uppercase forms lean toward compact, poster-like silhouettes, while lowercase characters retain a sketchy, note-to-self quality with distinct ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same rough logic, staying highly legible but deliberately uneven, which reinforces the human, non-mechanical feel in continuous text.
